This week, we're breaking up the 'Plant Medicine' challenge with a question that all Steemians are more than welcome to enter. The question comes from @metametheus after a discussion in the Natural Medicine Discord channel and we're really intrigued to discover what your attitude or opinion might be!
Even though we might not want to face the fact we will one day shuffle off this mortal coil, we all do die one day. Some people, knowing this, might have an 'only live once' attitude to life and won't change their lifestyle until illness comes a-knockin'. Others are absolutely obsessed with every morsel of food that passes thier lips. Some might start a mental health practice such as mindfulness due to extreme stress that they realise is going to kill them, and some start it as a preventative measure just coz they know it's going to make them healthier and happier, or are looking for a way to cope with death, or even just a way to understand life.
Do We Live Healthy Lives to Avoid or Postpone Death?
There's many ways to answer this question. You might:
- write about personal experience
- explore a particularly study on longevity
- examine psychological or cultural attitudes toward death
- consider particular diets that are said to help with a longer life
- explore mindful or meditative practices that assist us in coping with the inevitability of our physical deaths
- consider challenging the question
